About

Welcome to my blog. I am a medical doctor from Papua New Guinea. I am currently working as a General Physician in the Federated States of Micronesia.

Most of the articles will be about issues in Papua New Guinea but I think it also applies to other pacific island nations. From time to time, articles about other pacific island countries will be published. Hope you find the articles informative.

My name is David and I’m new to blogging. First let me say I enjoyed browsing your blog. I hope the one I’m working on is as well done as yours when I finish it.

I’ve been asked to write articles about telehealth in the deaf community, along with articles on independent living. I was wondering if you have any information you could share about the impact telehealth is having on families in the pacific? I would like to know if you have any resources that you could refer me to.

Hi David, thank you for the compliments. I myself only started blogging this year and still learning the ropes.

With regards to telehealth/telemedicine in the pacific, I have to admit I have very little information of my own. In fact, I only learnt about telemedicine and telehealth when researching for my articles for my blog. However, I can refer you to someone who helped set up a telemedicine portal for Solomon Islands.

Here is the link to the Solomon Islands Telemedicine Network site. You may find information there helpful. And maby you can also contact someone there who might have first hand information on telemedicine in the pacific.

The Solomon Islands Telemedicine portal is maintained by the University of Basel. You can also follow this link to get in touch with Kurt Brauchli who may help you. He helped with the Solomon Islands telemedicine network and has first hand experience.

I was looking around in WordPress.com and found your blog today and I came to appreciate what you have here. I have added you to my Health Blog blogroll and was wondering if you might add me to yours? Either way, thanks for the great experience of visiting your site and hope you enjoy mine. Thanks Jessie

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn’t know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren’t any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I’m happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It gets down to select a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way – that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

I came across your blogg while using the Google search engine. Your articles and comments are worth reading. I for one will be unfortunate because I live and practice in place where important advances in terms of mass media like the internet is non-existing. The only chance I get to surf the net and come across such sites as your blogg is when I get into town.

Anyway, keep up the good work and I will encourage other colleagues to get to your site because all the articles on your blogg are genuine and a must read.

I am one of the docs serving at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital in Western Highlands. I found your blog when searching for info on cervical cancer in PNG. We have a screening/pap smear program in partnership with Meripath (Australia). Hoping to start a mobile clinic in September.
BTW, great blog! I appreciate your passion for the women and children of PNG.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is important and
everything. But imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this
blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
Superb blog!
